THE FACTS
NTOMBI Cele from Roodepoort in Joburg is in love, but she wanted to know if her vat-en-sit relationship is actually legally considered a marriage.
WHAT I DID
I checked up on the law regarding marriage.
SOLUTION
Cohabitation does not yet have the same legal protection as a marriage.
This means you’re not entitled to the same benefits as those people who are legally married.
If you’re living with a partner, make sure you get some form of legal agreement to protect yourself and your investments.
